So this means a patch would be 2bytes long + adress-information? So why such big update-files?
there are update rpms, update .patch.rpms, and update .delta.rpms. ls -l apache2-prefork-2.0.53-9* 213624 apache2-prefork-2.0.53-9.2.i586.patch.rpm 76867 apache2-prefork-2.0.53-9_9.2.i586.delta.rpm about 70k of them is rpm header payload (file list, changelog data, info etc.) so you get about 4k of actual delta payload, and the binary to be patched is about 350k. what are you talking about? cheers, Lars Ellenberg
